Corresponding Post: Graduated Licensing Saves Lives
Website: http://www.autosafety.org/
Reason: The Center for Auto Safety provides much information on a variety of topics related to auto safety, including airbags, defect investigations, lawsuits, recalls, rollovers, seatbelts, small car safety, SUVs, tires, and vehicle fires. You can learn about fuel economy and lemon laws, and you can file and view complaints. You can also find lawyers and experts to assist you.
Readers: Please research the risk of various distractions while driving that cause accidents. Then find or develop a media story to make your fellow drivers aware of the various risks. You could post your found or developed videos in the comments section to show the risks of distractions (e.g., texting, drunk driving, use of a cell phone, and other risky behavior). Or you might want to write a short story with a newspaper audience in mind. Saving one life can make a great difference to you, your friends, and your communities. Here are possibilities for lifesaving actions you can take:
1. Urge fellow students to stop friends from engaging in risky behavior while in the car, going to and from school, or on dates.
2. E-mail media stories to fellow classmates or send videos you develop to local TV station, or post them on the Internet.
3. Develop a series of public service announcements for local radio.
